Review

This is a review of the Proccedings of Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe, International Conference, second edition, published in Apostrof, a romanian cultural journal from Cluj Napoca: http://www.revista-apostrof.ro/articole.php?id=1102 *unfortunately this review is written in romanian language. The author, Stefan Borbely is a Professor at the Department of World and Comparative literature of The Faculty of Letters in Cluj, "Babes-Bolyai" University of Cluj Napoca, Romania. This is a very favorable review considering our conference a great succes but Stefan Borbely has doubts that romanian cultural authorities will support us in the future.

Is it necessary a Romanian Cremation Society for sustaining and popularization this pracitce of disposal of the body in Romania?

”Our soul is just an urn where we close, once and for all, the ashes of our lost passions”

Death, a subject which invites reflection and analysis par excellence, through the many mutations it produces, is a particular subject matter, often wrongfully given a secondary place among the scientific research interests. For this reason in particular, death cannot be considered the prerogative of just one science, although some may take a special interest in the topic. We cannot describe, understand, explain or come up with solutions to the reality of death without the joint effort of History, Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology, Medicine or Literature.
